National Religious Broadcasters President Frank Wright sent letters to Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) telling them their Next Generation Television Marketplace Act could be "fatal" to religious broadcasters. The bill would scrap the must-carry mandate, repeal retransmission consent provisions and compulsory licenses, and get rid of ownership rules.
